Some loud thinking.....pClock is meant as the tool for simple timing. For that reason, I wonder if the pause-button would be better inside a new tool - Timer. A simple counter that you can pause???? Maybe add a feature to specify several alarm times. Would that fill your needs?

I don't have any needs, I just think it is a feature I'd want if/when I did use a stopwatch

To be honest, I think 2 different timing apps is enough already
A pause button would be a very simple feature... even if it is very difficult to implement _________________DEATH TO SPREADSHEETS

with a date line followed by a message line.
The date uses the format of the 'date' terminal command.

pclock (if it is running) would check this text file once a minute
for a similar date and if pclock finds the date it it would show
the message that the user has typed directly below the date
and even bark.

Two possible options are 'silent' and 'warn' which are
written directly after the date.

'warn' means that a warning is given a specified time before
the date (such as 30 minutes).

and 'silent' means no bark.

It could be multilingual since the date command is
in the language 'LANG' I happen to be using French
now.

pclock (if it is running) would check this text file once a minute
for a similar date and if pclock finds the date it it would show
the message that the user has typed directly below the date
and even bark.

This is what we have pShcedule (cron) for. It check every minute for whatever defined command.

Have you checked out Osmo. I would guess it has a builtin reminder function.

new version .3.1 that runs on Fluppy

Here's the latest creation!! The lines I have changed are described
inside the archive.

Fluppy doesn't have pmusic because it uses gstreamer
so I made a quick hack to allow it to replace pmusic with
the player 'parole' which works and it repeats the song as well.

2barks.wav repeats over and over!!!
Another player is available on Fluppy called Eina
but it doesn't start automatically unless the user sets the
preferences to play a song automatically,
so I choose parole.

I checked it on Fluppy but I noticed one negative thing .
To get the Clock to fit in the window I had to reduce the font
size to 39 using the preferences.

This is a problem that version .2 had as well I believe.
Please check it on Fluppy to see if you can fix this,

It checked out perfectly on lucid puppy 5.2.5

However when I quickly checked on the latest version
of Wary 512 beta there was some strange interaction
which may be caused by pschedule 101 or maybe accented
characters in the message field????

I've included a picture of pschedule in Wary and it looks screwy.
I set just one task and yet two lines are filled out. Bizarre.

I will check this further and hopefully you have the time to
check as well.

I have not looked at your code, - sorry about that.
Please continue to improve, and I will take a closer look next time I revisit pClock. If you keep a log of your changes, it is much easier for me (and others) to find your improvements in the code, and to evaluate.....
